Obama’s approval down to 44% – Rasmussen

With an election less than a year away and pending healthcare, cap & tax, and other spending bills in the House and Senate, how many Democrats are willing to sacrifice their careers for a President with a 44% approval rating after only a year in office? Dirty, slimy Harry Reid can’t find 60 votes to pass healthcare, Cap & Trade seems DOA in the Senate and now Barry O’s numbers are still tanking. He’s got a big problem, and it’s not the Republicans. It’s his own party who can’t agree on anything. Poor Obama.

Wheeeeeee

Healthcare Plan – Favor-38.8% Oppose-51.7% from Pollster.com

This interesting thing about the chart below is that it takes every known poll out there and charts it to come up with the average. EVERY poll listed below the chart (click link below) has the people who oppose the healthcare bill substantially higher. Do you think the Senators and Representatives could take their heads out of their…um…you know, and take a minute to read the polls or even, I don’t know, maybe ask their constituents? I will ask the question yet again. Didn’t we elect these people to REPRESENT us? If we do not want this bill by an overwhelming majority, then why are they forcing this bill on us?

Have you noticed that they are not talking about improving the healthcare we receive, they are spending countless hours negotiating items that they can get other Senators to agree on. Public option, abortion, etc. These things have nothing to do with the way our healthcare is delivered only administered; along with substantial bribes for Senators on the fence. This bill has nothing to do with your health and everything to do with controlling a huge sector of the economy and our lives. Continue to call your Senators and urge them to vote against the bill and to convince their Democrat colleagues to vote against it.

Do Americans Want Health Care Reform, or Not?

Polled support for the health care plan wending its way through Congress continues to crash downward in the polls.  And before you say it, it’s not just Rasmussen, which has actually been pretty much in the middle of the other polls.  Here’s where we stand as of today:

More bad poll numbers for Obama – It’s getting hard to keep up with all of these polls. 45% approval

Another Rasmussen poll just released puts our dear leader at 45% approval. Not a good week for the president. When Chris (tingle up my leg) Matthews, Saturday Night Live, and Europe all turn against you, it doesn’t look like a lot of hope anymore because of the change.

45% and sinking

Here’s a great way to start your day – Presidential Approval Index rating -15%

If this doesn’t scare the bejeepers out of the Democrats who are considering voting for healthcare, cap & trade, and anything else on the Obama agenda, then nothing will. In the real world, which is way different than inside the Beltway, people are telling their Representatives how to vote. In Fantasyland, the Representatives are committing political suicide. The Dems are handing the 2010 elections to the Republicans on a silver platter. Will they take it?

Why is he still smiling in the picture?

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 27% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -15. This is the lowest Approval Index rating yet measured for President Obama

Support for Health Care Plan Falls to New Low – Rasmussen

Only 38% of voters now approve Obamacare and 60% believe the plan will increase health care costs. Most (54%) also believe passage of the plan will hurt the quality of care. Then WHY ARE WE DOING IT? The answer is simple. The Democrats have one chance to pass this and then their window to control your lives and a huge part of the economy closes; probably for another 50 years. Couple this with the most recent Gallup poll showing Obama’s huge decline in popularity and it spells disaster for the Dems in 2010.

Just 38% of voters now favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s the lowest level of support measured for the plan in nearly two dozen tracking polls conducted since June.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% now oppose the plan.

Gallup Poll – Obama down to 48% approval

Hey Senate Democrats – Are you listening? This guy is marching you off of a cliff and he doesn’t care. All he cares about is getting something through. It doesn’t matter if it is a bad bill; he doesn’t care. Are you listening? Would you rather work in the private sector? That can be arranged.

Gallup – More in U.S. Say Health Coverage Is Not Gov’t. Responsibility

There are those who claim healthcare is a right, and we must be required to have health insurance. There are others who believe that we should follow the guide lines of the Constitution. The most recent Gallup poll no suggests that the majority of Americans now feel that the government should stay out of the healthcare business. If this trend continues, will the Senate also go against the will of the people and force a bill on us that we do not want? Stay tuned…

PRINCETON, NJ — More Americans now say it is not the federal government’s responsibility to make sure all Americans have healthcare coverage (50%) than say it is (47%). This is a first since Gallup began tracking this question, and a significant shift from as recently as three years ago, when two-thirds said ensuring healthcare coverage was the government’s responsibility.

Gallup has asked this question each November since 2001 as part of the Gallup Poll Social Series, and most recently in its Nov. 5-8 Health and Healthcare survey. There have been some fluctuations from year to year, but this year marks the first time in the history of this trend that less than half of Americans say ensuring healthcare coverage for all is the federal government’s responsibility.

And this in from Gallup – Republicans Edge Ahead of Democrats in 2010 Vote

This early in the process it is rare that the momentum would be gathering so soon, but given the economic climate, the bad bills in Congress, and the tax and spend policies of the Democrats, it isn’t hard to see the writing on the wall. This is not a signal to ease up your support, but a call to action to step up the call for conservative ideas to emerge again. This could be 1994 all over again.

Registered voters prefer Republicans for the House, 48% to 44%

Republicans have moved ahead of Democrats by 48% to 44% among registered voters in the latest update on Gallup’s generic congressional ballot for the 2010 House elections, after trailing by six points in July and two points last month.

The Nov. 5-8 update comes just after Republican victories in the New Jersey and Virginia gubernatorial elections, which saw Republicans replace Democrats as governors of those states.

As was the case in last Tuesday’s gubernatorial elections, independents are helping the Republicans’ cause. In the latest poll, independent registered voters favor the Republican candidate by 52% to 30%. Both parties maintain similar loyalty from their bases, with 91% of Democratic registered voters preferring the Democratic candidate and 93% of Republican voters preferring the Republican.

Over the course of the year, independents’ preference for the Republican candidate in their districts has grown, from a 1-point advantage in July to the current 22-point gap.

The overall results would predict a likely strong Republican showing if the House elections were held today.

The latest Rasmussen Poll has Obama at 46% approval

From NPR – In White House Vs. Fox News War Of Words, Who Gets Your Vote?

I highly suggest you take this poll on the NPR website and check out the results. It may pleasantly surprise you. Fair and balanced it seems.

The stories about what the Obama White House has to say about Fox News Channel keep coming.

There was White House communications director saying telling Howard Kurtz of The Washington Post and CNN “let’s not pretend they’re a news network the way CNN is.”

Also last week it was NPR’s David Folkenflik reporting that “the White House is taking direct aim at Fox News, the news organization that is the home to the most potent collection of its conservative critics.”

This week it’s ABC News’ Jake Tapper asking why the Obama team was treating one of the “sister organizations” so badly — and the news that the White House had tried to block a Fox News reporter from interviewing the so-called pay czar. (After all the networks objected, the White House relented.)
